great stay, was really good!
useful toiletries peaceful escape lift access
I stayed for several nights and found the provided toiletries useful. I especially appreciated the shampoo and soap. the rooftop bar offered a peaceful escape at night, with great views. the lift access to rooms was a real bonus, particularly after long days exploring. I didn't have to worry about stairs.
the breakfast area got quite crowded during peak times, made navigating the food service area a little challenging.
